A UK man suspected of pushing a woman into the path of a oncoming bus on a busy London bridge nine years ago has been found dead.
Nicholas Brandram, 44, was found at his home in west London on Tuesday.
He was arrested in June by London's Metropolitan Police in connection with a 2017 incident where a jogger running across Putney Bridge pushed a woman in front of an oncoming bus.
She only escaped serious injury after the bus driver swerved and narrowly avoided her.
CCTV footage and images of the suspect were released by police after the incident and gained worldwide attention, sparking a manhunt for the unidentified runner who became known as the Putney Pusher.

Police interviewed around 50 men and arrested three people during the investigation, but no charges were laid.
In a statement to the Guardian on Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police said officers and ambulance staff attended an address in Hounslow after a man was found unresponsive inside a property.
"Sadly, a 44-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed," a spokesperson said.
"At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious.
"A file will be prepared for the coroner in due course."
